ββββ the following textββββ
Two days later, under Zhao Yu's instructions, Huang Shao took Chen Cai and more than 30 black tiger thieves to Wancheng again.
Because of Huang Shao as a cover, Chen Cai and the others entered Wancheng without danger.
I have to say that when he entered the city to be interrogated, Huang Shao really pinched a cold sweat for Chen Cai and the others, after all, once Chen Cai and the others were recognized by the Wancheng soldiers and the identity of the black tiger thief, he would inevitably be implicated.
Fortunately, Chen Cai is only a small leader in the Black Tiger Village, and he is not qualified to be on the wanted list, so the soldiers in Wancheng don't know the details, at most, they see a few people under Chen Cai with fierce faces, and they give a warning.
It can be seen that those Wancheng soldiers don't think that anyone dares to cause trouble in his Wancheng, after all, this is ...... Wancheng!
After entering the city, Huang Shao brought Chen Cai and the others to the Wei Masonic Masonic Firm, where their caravan was settled, and led Chen Cai to meet with several Yexian businessmen who were waiting there.
"Isn't this the Brotherhood's Steward Chen?"
"Steward Chen......"
When they saw Chen Cai, those Ye County businessmen saluted one after another, and they tacitly avoided talking about Chen Cai's other identity.
After some pleasantries, a businessman may ask cryptically, "'That'...... How so? β
Hearing this, Chen Cai deliberately teased him: "You mean our leader?" β
Except for Huang Shao, the rest of the Ye County businessmen were a little overwhelmed when they heard this, and the businessman who asked just now was even more embarrassed and at a loss.
"This Chen Cai really doesn't know anything, how can this kind of thing ...... How can you reveal it at will?'
Several businessmen glanced at each other quickly.
Seeing this, Chen Cai secretly snorted in his heart.
Just like these businessmen actually looked down on Chen Cai in their hearts, Chen Cai actually looked down on these businessmen, thinking that these businessmen were cowardly and cowardly, but recalling Zhao Yu's instructions to him before he left, he still put away the disdain in his heart, and said with a smile: "This time the leader sent me here to assist Huang Ergongzi ......."
With that, he turned his head to look at Huang Shao.
Glancing at Chen Cai, Huang Shao exhaled slightly.
As he expected, the leader of the Black Tiger Thieves was not willing to be stabbed by Kong Jian, the head of the Wancheng Military Market, and tried to force Kong Jian to change his mind by creating rumors.
And Chen Cai and the others were originally the people sent by the leader of the Black Tiger Thieves to be in charge of this matter.
However, Huang Shao took over the matter.
In fact, he didn't have to come forward at all, and let Chen Cai and other black tiger thieves create rumors on his behalf, even if they were arrested at that time, it would be Chen Cai and others, but the question is, are the officials of Wancheng Military City all fools?
In the end, the other party will inevitably find out on his Kunye Mutual Benefit Association's head and his Huang Shao's head.
Since you can't dodge it horizontally and vertically, why not show some responsibility? What about proving your abilities to the leader of the Black Tiger Thieves?
It was based on these two factors that Huang Shao took over the matter in front of the leader of the Black Tiger Thieves, and Chen Cai became his helper because of this.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, Huang Shao said in a deep voice: "It's not more than three, please allow me to see that Kong Jian again, if that Kong Jian still insists, then ...... Spread rumors and force them to comply! β
Hearing this, Chen Cai seemed to be smiling, while the rest of the businessmen were nervous.
On the same day, Huang Shao again went to Kong Jian's office to ask to see the latter.
Unexpectedly, this time, he didn't even see Kong Jian's face, Kong Jian just sent a subordinate to pass the word and asked Huang Shaodao: "Master Kong asked Huang Ergongzi to come down to ask Huang Ergongzi, I don't know if Huang Ergongzi has changed his mind?" If not, then don't delay each other's work, Huang Gongzi will go back. β
Huang Shao was shocked and angry, and returned to the Wei Freemasonry business house angrily.
Since that Kong Jian is not benevolent and righteous, then simply poke this matter up!
He immediately sent his entourage, as well as Chen Cai and his Black Tiger Thieves, to spread rumors throughout Wancheng, claiming that Kong Jian was maliciously manipulating the military market.
To be sure, spreading rumors didn't work very well, considering that Wancheng was a city ruled by the military.
When Zhao Yu first arrived in Wancheng, eight or nine out of ten people in Wancheng were soldiers under Wang Shangde, and in recent years, the situation has improved slightly, Wang Shangde through the military market and military tuntian, and gradually recruited some displaced people, coupled with the entry of merchants and related personnel from all over the world, so that Wancheng gradually restored the prosperity of the past, but in general, it is still a city controlled by the army, and the figure of Wancheng soldiers can be seen everywhere in the city.
Therefore, almost no one in the city dared to talk about rumors that were unfavorable to the Nanyang Army, and ordinary people did not even dare to listen to them.
Only the various trading houses in the city will be suspicious of this.
But even if the effect of spreading rumors is not good, Huang Shao's goal has been achieved.
No, Kong Jian soon learned about it, and he was shocked and angry.
"It must be that Huang Shao who holds a grudge and deliberately spreads rumors!"
Enraged, Kong Jian immediately sent his soldiers to the Wei Firm, and arrested Huang Shao.
After seeing Huang Shao again, Kong Jian scolded angrily: "Huang Shao! β¦β¦ But you're deliberately spreading rumors?! β
Huang Shao had already guessed Kong Jian's reaction in advance, and was neither surprised that Kong Jian sent someone to arrest him, nor surprised by the latter's angry question at the moment, he said lightly: "The news is indeed the ...... I released."
may not have expected Huang Shao to admit it briskly, Kong Jian's eyes widened in surprise, and he immediately scolded angrily: "Okay, it's good for you to admit your guilt!" What crime should you be guilty of slandering the reputation of the military city and the reputation of your own officials?! As he spoke, he made a gesture to summon the soldiers to take Huang Shao down and imprison him.
Unexpectedly, Huang Shao said: "Wait! Although I admit that it was indeed me who sent someone to release the rumors, Master Kong said that I slandered the reputation of the military market and the reputation of Master Kong, but I did not admit it! β
As he spoke, he took a deep breath and looked directly at Kong Jian, and said in a deep voice: "Kong Jian, you accepted bribes from Lu Kuang, maliciously embarrassed Huang's Chamber of Commerce, and took the opportunity to ask for huge benefits, don't you dare to admit this matter?" β¦β¦ In the name of General Wang, you have filled your pockets, manipulated the military market, and deliberately embarrassed us, and I will definitely ask General Wang to see him in person and seek justice! β
"Hah!"
Kong Jian sneered, "Do you think you can meet General Wang?" β¦β¦ As long as I give an order, you don't want to see General Wang. β
Huang Shao narrowed his eyes and said with a cold face: "Kong Jian, don't be proud, when I came this time, I had already recruited some outlaws with a lot of money, even if you imprisoned me, they would still continue to spread this matter in the city, and one day it would reach General Wang?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Looking at Huang Shao's open-minded posture, Kong Jian's momentum suddenly stagnated.
I have to say that Huang Shao's threat is right in Kong Jian's weakness, Kong Jian is not afraid of anyone, he is afraid of Wang Shangde, after all, the latter's one thought can determine his life and death.
may have noticed the change in the expression on Kong Jian's face, and Huang Shao was quite surprised.
He suddenly felt that Zhou Hu, the leader of the Black Tiger Thief, was right, this Kong Jian was a fierce and introverted guy.
However, Zhou Hu, the leader of the Black Tiger Thieves who was far away in Kunyang, why did he know so much about Kong Jian, the master of the Wancheng Military Market?
For that Zhou Hu, Huang Shao felt more and more mysterious.
It was probably the sneer on Huang Shao's face that stimulated Kong Jian, and Kong Jian, who had gone smoothly in the past two years, was furious in his heart, and immediately detained Huang Shao with his power.
Immediately, he immediately recruited a soldier from the party bureau and ordered: "You immediately take people to the Masonic trading house of the Wei clan in Ruyang, and arrest all the cadres of the Kunye Mutual Benefit Association!" β
"Yes!"
The soldier departed.
About an hour later, the soldier came back and said, "Master book, my subordinates led people to the Wei Clan's Freemason Trading House, and caught six Yexian merchants there, but according to the subordinates' inquiries, it seems that twenty or thirty people left before and did not know where to go. β
"Those twenty or thirty people, aren't they the outlaws that Huang Shao said? β¦β¦ Damn!'
Kong Jian scolded secretly.
He had the intention to find out those twenty or thirty people, but the problem was that he didn't have this authority, and all he could command was a few hundred soldiers under his military market bureau.
Unless he asks for help from Li Zhen, the deputy general who stayed in Wancheng.
Li Zhen is Wang Shangde's deputy general, he was deeply trusted by Wang Shangde, and when Wang Shangde was not in Wancheng, most of them were in charge of the city.
But the question is, if Li Zhen knows, does that mean that Wang Shangde also knows? How could Vice Admiral Li Zhen hide it for his sake?
And once Wang Shangde knew about this, he learned that he deliberately made things difficult for Huang Shao and forced Huang Shao to send people to spread rumors......
Recalling the cold eyes of that General Wang, Kong Jian subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
For a while, all kinds of evil thoughts flashed in Kong Jian's mind, such as framing Huang Shao, or ordering Huang Shao to be forced to submit by severe punishment, but in the end, these evil thoughts were vetoed by Kong Jian, after all, he also understood that once he did that, it would be endless trouble.
After weighing the pros and cons, Kong Jian finally ordered someone to bring Huang Shao to the front, and said comfortingly: "How can you say that Kong and Huang Gongzi have also known each other for many years, why make such a fuss?" Since Huang Gongzi said that the profit should be five points, then five points. β
At this time, Huang Shao had already recognized Kong Jian's lust and guilt, and for a moment he actually didn't want to give up even five cents of interest, but after thinking about it for a while, he finally nodded and agreed.
On the same day, Huang Shao spent a sum of money in exchange for a one-time trade certificate from Kong Jian.
Although Kong Jian was smiling from beginning to end, as if the previous conflict between the two sides had never happened, after Huang Shao left, Kong Jian's face sank unsurprisingly.
"You don't know what to lift, you think it's over? Hum! See how I clean you up in the future! β
Kong Jian scolded with anger.
In addition to scolding, a figure unconsciously flashed in his mind.
Probably because of the tough attitude of Huang Shao, the second son of the Huang family, today made him unconsciously think of another person known as the second son......
That was the second son of Zhao in the Luyang Township Marquis Mansion......
Thinking of that person, Kong Jian hated Huang Shao more and more, and made up his mind to teach the latter a painful lesson.
Who called this Huang Shao also ranked second among his brothers?
